Game: The Wolf Among Us: Episode 1 - Faith

A notable point on the lengthy list of sins committed by substandard series like Twilight and The Mortal Instruments is that stories about supernatural beings living amongst us now feel exclusively like the domain of bad teenage drama. In other words, sparkly vampires and the sneering teenage smart-asses that hunt them through city streets may immediately put you off the "modern fairy tale" premise for Telltale Games' The Wolf Among Us.Don't let that happen. The Wolf Among Us, based on Veritgo's long-running comic series by Bill Willingham, is sharp, funny, and full of intrigue. You'll be hooked the second Mr. Toad claps his bulbous eyes on the main character and hisses, "Shit.""The Wolf Among Us: Episode 1 - Faith is an episodic adventure game by Telltale, who has already demonstrated that they're really good at this sort of thing through The Walking Dead. You roam the foul streets of '80s-era New York as Bigby Wolf, a detective/policeman who's employed to help keep things peaceful amongst New York's population of Fables."Fables" are refugee characters from fairy tales who've been shoved out of The Homelands and forced to relocate in New York State. Bigby Wolf, once known as a certain "Big Bad," is primarily concerned about making sure the Fables living in New York City's Fabletown keep a low profile and a human guise. However, things take a violent turn one day, and Bigby finds himself responsible for solving the gristly murder of a certain Fable.
